Anything involving hot air balloons even remotely calls for the Hindenberg.
Some cool Bonus news out of Colorado. Apparently a man and his son were working on a home made do it yourself hot air balloon. Probably getting ready to escape Earth when Super Earth shows up, or just really enjoying their Bonus Time.
The story takes a bit of an odd twist, as while the father was not being attentive to the adventurous lad, he decided to take the hot air balloon for a spin. He surprisingly was able to get the makeshift craft untethered, and off he went.
The balloon was last spotted in the airspace above Colorado, fluctuating between 7,500 and 8,500 feet. Let's hope the little guy is having a good time up there at least, and that he isn't already dead with terror. Because if he does make it out of this one in one piece, he's definitely going into the hall of Bonus Time Heroes.
Also, if you're sitting on your ass reading this at home, go out and make something cool! These guys made a hot air balloon! Bonus Time!
Update: As of about 4 30ish Eastern the Balloon has landed! However the boy is missing, and this article seems to suggest that the boy would not have survived a crash in the balloon. However Bonus Time scientists Claire had the following to say:
Claire: he's just hiding

I would be worried too, good sleuthing Claire!

" Falcon's parents, science enthusiasts Richard and Mayumi Heene, were featured on the 100th episode of ABC's prime-time program "Wife Swap" in March, ABC said.
According to the network's Web site, the Heene family "devote their time to scientific experiments that include looking for extraterrestrials and building a research-gathering flying saucer to send into the eye of the storm." iReport.com: Heene family storm chases into eye of storm "
